FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Described herein are methods for identifying and preparing nucleic acid ligands to tissues. Tissues are described herein as a collection of macromolecules in a heterogeneous environment. According to this definition, tissues encompass a single cell type, a collection of cell types, an aggregate of cells or an aggregate of macromolecules. The method utilized herein for identifying such nucleic acid ligands is called SELEX, an acronym for Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment. Specifically disclosed herein are high-affinity nucleic acid ligands which bind to various tissues.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A method for the in vitro evolution of nucleic acid molecules with highly specific binding to target molecules has been developed. This method, Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment, termed SELEX, is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/536,428, entitled "Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment", now abandoned, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/714,131, filed Jun. 10, 1991, entitled "Method for Identifying Nucleic Acid Ligands", now U.S. Pat. No. 5,475,096, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/931,473, filed Aug. 17, 1992, entitled "Nucleic Acid Ligands", now U.S. Pat. No. 5,270,163 (see also WO91/19813), each of which is herein specifically incorporated by reference. Each of these applications, collectively referred to herein as the SELEX Patent Applications, describes a fundamentally novel method for making a nucleic acid ligand to any desired target molecule.

The SELEX method involves selection from a mixture of candidate oligonucleotides and step-wise iterations of binding, partitioning and amplification, using the same general selection scheme, to achieve virtually any desired criterion of binding affinity and selectivity. Starting from a mixture of nucleic acids, preferably comprising a segment of randomized sequence, the SELEX method includes steps of contacting the mixture with the target under conditions favorable for binding, partitioning unbound nucleic acids from those nucleic acids which have bound specifically to target molecules, dissociating the nucleic acid-target complexes, amplifying the nucleic acids dissociated from the nucleic acid-target complexes to yield a ligand-enriched mixture of nucleic acids, then reiterating the steps of binding, partitioning, dissociating and amplifying through as many cycles as desired to yield highly specific, high affinity nucleic acid ligands to the target molecule.

The basic SELEX method has been modified to achieve a number of specific objectives. For example, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/960,093, filed Oct. 14, 1992, entitled "Method for Selecting Nucleic Acids on the Basis of Structure", describes the use of SELEX in conjunction with gel electrophoresis to select nucleic acid molecules with specific structural characteristics, such as bent DNA. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/123,935, filed Sep. 17, 1993, entitled "Photoselection of Nucleic Acid Ligands" describes a SELEX based method for selecting nucleic acid ligands containing photoreactive groups capable of binding and/or photocrosslinking to and/or photoinactivating a target molecule. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/134,028, filed Oct. 7, 1993, entitled "High-Affinity Nucleic Acid Ligands That Discriminate Between Theophylline and Caffeine", describes a method for identifying highly specific nucleic acid ligands able to discriminate between closely related molecules, termed Counter-SELEX. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/143,564, filed Oct. 25, 1993, entitled "Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment: Solution SELEX" now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 5,567,588, describes a SELEX-based method which achieves highly efficient partitioning between oligonucleotides having high and low affinity for a target molecule. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/964,624, filed Oct. 21, 1992, entitled "Nucleic Acid Ligands to HIV-RT and HIV-Rev" now U.S. Pat. No. 5,496,938 describes methods for obtaining improved nucleic acid ligands after SELEX has been performed. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/400,440, filed Mar. 8, 1995, entitled "Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment: Chemi-SELEX", describes methods for covalently linking a ligand to its target.

The SELEX method encompasses the identification of high-affinity nucleic acid ligands containing modified nucleotides conferring improved characteristics on the ligand, such as improved in vivo stability or improved delivery characteristics. Examples of such modifications include chemical substitutions at the ribose and/or phosphate and/or base positions. SELEX-identified nucleic acid ligands containing modified nucleotides are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/117,991, filed Sep. 8, 1993, entitled "High Affinity Nucleic Acid Ligands Containing Modified Nucleotides", that describes oligonucleotides containing nucleotide derivatives chemically modified at the 5- and 2'-positions of pyrimidines. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/134,028, supra, describes highly specific nucleic acid ligands containing one or more nucleotides modified with 2'-amino (2'-NH₂), 2'-fluoro (2'-F), and/or 2'-O-methyl (2'-OMe). U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/264,029, filed Jun. 22, 1994, entitled "Novel Method of Known and Moral Preparation of Known and Moral 2' Modified Pyrimidine by Intramolecular Nucleophilic Displacement", describes oligonucleotides containing various 2'-modified pyrimidines.

The SELEX method encompasses combining selected oligonucleotides with other selected oligonucleotides and non-oligonucleotide functional units as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/284,063, filed Aug. 2, 1994, entitled "Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment: Chimeric SELEX", now U.S. Pat. No. 5,637,459 and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/234,997, filed Apr. 28, 1994, entitled "Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment: Blended SELEX", respectively. These applications allow the combination of the broad array of shapes and other properties, and the efficient amplification and replication properties, of oligonucleotides with the desirable properties of other molecules. Each of the above described patent applications which describe modifications of the basic SELEX procedure are specifically incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.

Without question, the SELEX process is very powerful. However, to date the process has been successfully demonstrated primarily with pure, simple targets, such as proteins or small molecules. The present invention provides the first demonstration that complex targets are also compatible with the SELEX process.

It is desirable to be able to obtain nucleic acid ligands to complex tissue targets for various reasons. First, tissue SELEX can be useful to obtain nucleic acid ligands when a distinct target is unknown but a general mode of action of the desired ligand is suggested. Second, tissue SELEX can be useful when nucleic acid ligands are desired based on functional results. Third, it can be desirable to obtain nucleic acid ligands to a complex tissue target when it is unclear which single target would be effective. It is also useful to obtain nucleic acid ligands to a complex tissue target if the purified target is unavailable or unstable in its purified form (i.e., a membrane protein).

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention includes methods of identifying and producing nucleic acid ligands to complex targets such as tissues and the nucleic acid ligands so identified and produced. More particularly, nucleic acid ligands are provided that are capable of binding specifically to tissues which are macromolecules in a heterogeneous environment, such as whole cells or substructures thereof, aggregates of cells, collections of cells, aggregates of macromolecules and the like.

Further included in this invention is a method of identifying nucleic acid ligands to tissues comprising the steps of (a) preparing a candidate mixture of nucleic acids, (b) partitioning between members of said candidate mixture on the basis of affinity to tissue, and (c) amplifying the selected molecules to yield a mixture of nucleic acids enriched for nucleic acid sequences with a relatively higher affinity for binding to tissue. Also included are nucleic acid ligands identified according to such method.

Another embodiment of the invention includes methods wherein a negative selection is performed in order to perfect the discrimination between subtle differences of similar tissue types. In this embodiment, the resulting ligands are specific not only for a particular tissue type, but can discriminate between subtly different tissues of the same type. For example, this method can discriminate between normal and abnormal tissue types, between induced and uninduced tissue types, etc.

In another embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for identifying previously unknown or uncharacterized epitopes which are components of a larger unknown macromolecule, on the tissue target. The ligands that are evolved by the present invention are capable of binding to previously unknown epitopes and the macromolecule which comprises the unknown epitope can then be identified by standard methods. For example, ligands can be evolved to a previously unknown protein found in the context of a complex tissue target. The ligand of the invention can be used to purify the protein away from the tissue target by standard protein purification and identification methods. These standard methods include affinity purification, microsequencing and cDNA databank searches. In this aspect, the newly identified epitopes which are components of a larger unknown macromolecule, such as new or previously uncharacterized proteins, are provided by the invention. These new epitopes and the macromolecule of which they are a component will be useful as diagnostic and therapeutic agents as well as the ligands that helped identify them.

More specifically, the present invention includes nucleic acid ligands to red blood cell ghosts, human tumor cell lines, such as a T-cell lymphoblast cell line, CEMss, and an adherent cell line, the glioma U-251, including those ligands listed in Tables 1 and 2. Also included are nucleic acid ligands to the above-described tissues that are substantially homologous to any of the given ligands and that have substantially the same ability to bind the above-described tissues. Further included in this invention are nucleic acid ligands to the above-described tissues that have substantially the same structural form as the ligands presented herein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

This application describes nucleic acid ligands to complex tissue targets identified generally according to the method known as SELEX. As stated earlier, the SELEX technology is described in detail, and incorporated herein by reference, in the SELEX patent applications. This method, referred to as Tissue SELEX, incorporates complex targets in contrast to the more simple targets previously used in the SELEX process. Certain terms used to describe the invention herein are defined as follows:

"SELEX" methodology refers to the combination of selection of nucleic acid ligands which interact with a target in a desirable manner, for example binding to a protein, with amplification of those selected nucleic acids as described in detail above and in the SELEX patent applications. Iterative cycling of the selection/amplification steps allows selection of one or a small number of nucleic acids which interact most strongly with the target from a pool which contains a very large number of nucleic acids. Cycling of the selection/amplification procedure is continued until a selected goal is achieved.

"Tissue SELEX" methodology applies the SELEX methodology to tissue targets. Tissue SELEX has several advantages. First, using Tissue SELEX one can obtain ligands to specific cell types in the absence of a defined understanding of the involved epitope. The epitope against which a ligand is evolved is usually a substructural component of a larger macromolecule The ligands found by this method could also be useful in identifying new proteins or other new macromolecules on the tissue target. The new proteins or other new macromolecules which comprise a newly identified epitope can be purified and characterized using standard procedures. Second, ligands can be obtained to defined epitopes or macromolecules in the context of their physiologic cellular or membrane environment. Third, it is possible to obtain ligands to tissues in a functionally altered phenotype, e.g., activated, migrating, etc. The ligands and the new macromolecules containing the ligand epitopes identified by this process may be useful as diagnostics or therapeutics.

Tissue SELEX is a powerful methodology which allows one to identify nucleic acid ligands that can mediate many different cell behaviors, such as apoptosis, anergy, differentiation, proliferation, etc., without prior knowledge of the identity of the specific tissue targets that control these changes. The sensitivity of the SELEX process may lead to the generation of oligonucleotides that recognize potentially every different epitope on the complex tissue target. Larger numbers of different sequence motifs are expected using the tissue SELEX process, as compared with simple-target SELEX, since it is believed that different motifs will recognize distinct epitopes on the complex tissue target. Some epitopes may lie within the same protein, but many will be directed to various proteins or other molecules on the tissue. Tissue SELEX can be done in vivo or in vitro.

In one embodiment, a negative selection process (termed counter-SELEX) is employed to enhance the possibility that the ligands derived by tissue SELEX have precise specificity and affinity. In this embodiment, ligands are selected for a specific tissue and then a negative selection is done against a related tissue which does not have certain characteristics for which the ligand is desired. The negative selection can be done against a similar cell line or cell type, different cells, normal tissue, plasma or blood, a non-specific antibody or other available ligand. An example of negative selection would be to first select using a tumor cell target (such as a malignant melanoma) and then counterselect the resulting nucleic acids against a similar cell type which is not tumorogenic (such as normal human melanocytes). Ligands that interact with both normal and neoplastic tissue will be removed by this negative selection and only those nucleic acid ligands that specifically bind the tumor cells will be identified (or retained). The resulting nucleic acid ligand would be specific for tumors. This technique will provide the ability to identify nucleic acid ligands that can discriminate between two closely related targets, i.e., between a cancerous cell and an untransformed cell of the same tissue type. The negative selection can also be done in vivo. Using this method one can not only generate ligands to specific targets on complex tissue surfaces, but also be able to recognize the differences between normal and abnormal tissue of a particular type.

"SELEX Target" or "Target" refers to any compound upon which a nucleic acid can act in a predetermined desirable manner. A SELEX target molecule can be a protein, peptide, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, lipid, polysaccharide, glycoprotein, hormone, receptor, antigen, antibody, virus, pathogen, toxic substance, substrate, metabolite, transition state analog, cofactor, inhibitor, drug, dye, nutrient, growth factor, cell, tissue, etc., without limitation. Virtually any chemical or biological effector would be a suitable SELEX target. Molecules of any size can serve as SELEX targets. A target can also be modified in certain ways to enhance the likelihood of an interaction between the target and the nucleic acid.

"Tissue target" or "Tissue" refers to a certain subset of the SELEX targets described above. According to this definition, tissues are macromolecules in a heterogeneous environment. As used herein, tissue refers to a single cell type, a collection of cell types, an aggregate of cells, or an aggregate of macromolecules. This differs from simpler SELEX targets which are typically isolated soluble molecules, such as proteins. In the preferred embodiment, tissues are insoluble macromolecules which are orders of magnitude larger than simpler SELEX targets. Tissues are complex targets made up of numerous macromolecules, each macromolecule having numerous potential epitopes. The different macromolecules which comprise the numerous epitopes can be proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, etc., or combinations thereof. Tissues are generally a physical array of macromolecules that can be either fluid or rigid, both in terms of structure and composition. Extracellular matrix is an example of a more rigid tissue, both structurally and compositionally, while a membrane bilayer is more fluid in structure and composition. Tissues are generally not soluble and remain in solid phase, and thus partitioning can be accomplished relatively easily. Tissue includes, but is not limited to, an aggregate of cells usually of a particular kind together with their intercellular substance that form one of the structural materials commonly used to denote the general cellular fabric of a given organ, e.g., kidney tissue, brain tissue. The four general classes of tissues are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, nerve tissue, and muscle tissue.

Examples of tissues which fall within this definition include, but are not limited to, heterogeneous aggregates of macromolecules such as fibrin clots which are acellular; homogeneous or heterogeneous aggregates of cells; higher ordered structures containing cells which have a specific function, such as organs, tumors, lymph nodes, arteries, etc.; and individual cells. Tissues or cells can be in their natural environment, isolated, or in tissue culture. The tissue can be intact or modified. The modification can include numerous changes such as transformation, transfection, activation, and substructure isolation, e.g., cell membranes, cell nuclei, cell organelles, etc.

Sources of the tissue, cell or subcellular structures can be obtained from prokaryotes as well as eukaryotes. This includes human, animal, plant, bacterial, fungal and viral structures.

"Nucleic acid" means either DNA, RNA, single-stranded or double-stranded and any chemical modifications thereof. Modifications include, but are not limited to, those which provide other chemical groups that incorporate additional charge, polarizability, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction, and fluxionality to the individual nucleic acid bases or to the nucleic acid as a whole. Such modifications include, but are not limited to, modified bases such as 2'-position sugar modifications, 5-position pyrimidine modifications, 8-position purine modifications, modifications at cytosine exocyclic amines, substitution of 5-bromo-uracil; backbone modifications, methylations, unusual base-pairing combinations such as the isobases isocytidine and isoguanidine and the like. Modifications can also include 3' and 5' modifications such as capping. Modifications that occur after each round of amplification are also compatible with this invention. Post-amplification modifications can be reversibly or irreversibly added after each round of amplification. Virtually any modification of the nucleic acid is contemplated by this invention.

"Nucleic acid test mixture" or "nucleic acid candidate mixture" is a mixture of nucleic acids of differing, randomized sequence. The source of a "nucleic acid test mixture" can be from naturally-occurring nucleic acids or fragments thereof, chemically synthesized nucleic acids, enzymatically synthesized nucleic acids or nucleic acids made by a combination of the foregoing techniques. In a preferred embodiment, each nucleic acid has fixed sequences surrounding a randomized region to facilitate the amplification process. The length of the randomized section of the nucleic acid is generally between 8 and 250 nucleotides, preferably between 8 and 60 nucleotides.

"Nucleic acid ligand" is a nucleic acid which has been isolated from the nucleic acid candidate mixture that acts on a target in a desirable manner. Examples of actions on a target in a desirable manner include, but are not limited to binding of the target, catalytically changing the target, reacting with the target in a way which modifies/alters the target or the functional activity of the target, covalently attaching to the target as in a suicide inhibitor, facilitating the reaction between the target and another molecule. In most, but not all, instances this desirable manner is binding to the target. In the most preferred embodiment, a nucleic acid ligand is a non-naturally occurring nucleic acid ligand having a specific binding affinity for a tissue target molecule, such target molecule being a three dimensional chemical structure other than a polynucleotide that binds to said nucleic acid ligand through a mechanism which predominantly depends on Watson/Crick base pairing or triple helix binding, wherein said nucleic acid ligand is not a nucleic acid having the known physiological function of being bound by the target molecule. Nucleic acid ligand includes nucleic acid sequences that are substantially homologous to the nucleic acid ligands actually isolated by the Tissue SELEX procedures. By substantially homologous it is meant a degree of primary sequence homology in excess of 70%, most preferably in excess of 80%. In the past it has been shown that various nucleic acid ligands to a specific target with little or no primary homology may have substantially the same ability to bind the target. For these reasons, this invention also includes nucleic acid ligands that have substantially the same ability to bind a target as the nucleic acid ligands identified by the Tissue SELEX process. Substantially the same ability to bind a target means that the affinity is within a few orders of magnitude of the affinity of the ligands described herein. It is well within the skill of those of ordinary skill in the art to determine whether a given sequence--substantially homologous to those specifically described herein--has substantially the same ability to bind a tissue target.

"Partitioning" means any process for separating nucleic acid ligands from the remainder of the unreacted nucleic acid candidate mixture. Partitioning can be accomplished by various methods known in the art. Filter binding, affinity chromatography, liquid-liquid partitioning, filtration, gel shift, density gradient centrifugation are all examples of suitable partitioning methods. Equilibrium partitioning methods can also be used as described in detail below. Since the tissue targets of the present invention are non-soluble, there are numerous simple partitioning methods which are well suited to this invention. The simple partitioning methods include any method for separating a solid from a liquid, such as, centrifugation with and without oils, membrane separations and simply washing the insoluble tissue target. The ligands can also be specifically eluted from the target with a specific antibody or ligand. The choice of partitioning method will depend on properties of the target and the nucleic acid and can be made according to principles and properties known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

"Amplifying" means any process or combination of process steps that increases the amount or number of copies of a molecule or class of molecules. In preferred embodiments, amplification occurs after members of the test mixture have been partitioned, and it is the facilitating nucleic acid associated with a desirable product that is amplified. For example, amplifying RNA molecules can be carried out by a sequence of three reactions: making cDNA copies of selected RNAs, using the polymerase chain reaction to increase the copy number of each cDNA, and transcribing the cDNA copies to obtain RNA molecules having the same sequences as the selected RNAs. Any reaction or combination of reactions known in the art can be used as appropriate, including direct DNA replication, direct RNA amplification and the like, as will be recognized by those skilled in the art. The amplification method should result in the proportions of the amplified mixture being essentially representative of the proportions of different sequences in the mixture prior to amplification. It is known that many modifications to nucleic acids are compatible with enzymatic amplification. Modifications that are not compatible with amplification can be made after each round of amplification, if necessary.

"Randomized" is a term used to describe a segment of a nucleic acid having, in principle, any possible sequence over a given length. Randomized sequences will be of various lengths, as desired, ranging from about eight to more than one hundred nucleotides. The chemical or enzymatic reactions by which random sequence segments are made may not yield mathematically random sequences due to unknown biases or nucleotide preferences that may exist. The term "randomized" is used instead of "random" to reflect the possibility of such deviations from non-ideality. In the techniques presently known, for example sequential chemical synthesis, large deviations are not known to occur. For short segments of 20 nucleotides or less, any minor bias that might exist would have negligible consequences. The longer the sequences of a single synthesis, the greater the effect of any bias.

A bias may be deliberately introduced into a randomized sequence, for example, by altering the molar ratios of precursor nucleoside (or deoxynucleoside) triphosphates in the synthesis reaction or the ratio of phosphoramidites in the chemical synthesis. A deliberate bias may be desired, for example, to affect secondary structure, to introduce bias toward molecules known to have facilitating activity, to introduce certain structural characteristics, or based on preliminary results.

In its most basic form, the SELEX process may be defined by the following series of steps:

1) A candidate mixture of nucleic acids of differing sequence is prepared. The candidate mixture generally includes regions of fixed sequences (i.e., each of the members of the candidate mixture contains the same sequences in the same location) and regions of randomized sequences. The fixed sequence regions are selected either: (a) to assist in the amplification steps described below, (b) to mimic a sequence known to bind to the target, or (c) to enhance the concentration of a given structural arrangement of the nucleic acids in the candidate mixture. The randomized sequences can be totally randomized (i.e., the probability of finding a base at any position being one in four) or only partially randomized (e.g., the probability of finding a base at any location can be selected at any level between 0 and 100 percent).

2) The candidate mixture is contacted with the selected target under conditions favorable for binding between the target and members of the candidate mixture. Under these circumstances, the interaction between the target and the nucleic acids of the candidate mixture can be considered as forming nucleic acid-target pairs between the target and those nucleic acids having the strongest affinity for the target.

3) The nucleic acids with the highest affinity for the target are partitioned from those nucleic acids with lesser affinity to the target. Because only an extremely small number of sequences (and possibly only one molecule of nucleic acid) corresponding to the highest affinity nucleic acids exist in the candidate mixture, it is generally desirable to set the partitioning criteria so that a significant amount of the nucleic acids in the candidate mixture (approximately 5-50%) are retained during partitioning.

4) Those nucleic acids selected during partitioning as having the relatively higher affinity to the target are then amplified to create a new candidate mixture that is enriched in nucleic acids having a relatively higher affinity for the target.

5) By repeating the partitioning and amplifying steps above, the newly formed candidate mixture contains fewer and fewer unique sequences, and the average degree of affinity of the nucleic acids to the target will generally increase. Taken to its extreme, the SELEX process will yield a candidate mixture containing one or a small number of unique nucleic acids representing those nucleic acids from the original candidate mixture having the highest affinity to the target molecule.

The SELEX patent applications describe and elaborate on this process in great detail. Included are targets that can be used in the process; methods for partitioning nucleic acids within a candidate mixture; and methods for amplifying partitioned nucleic acids to generate an enriched candidate mixture. The SELEX patent applications also describe ligands obtained to a number of target species, including both protein targets where the protein is and is not a nucleic acid binding protein.

SELEX provides high affinity ligands of a target molecule. This represents a singular achievement that is unprecedented in the field of nucleic acids research. The present invention applies the SELEX procedure to more complicated tissue targets.

Negative selection (Counter-SELEX) is optionally employed before, during or after the Tissue SELEX process. The negative selection provides the ability to discriminate between closely related but different tissue types. For example, negative selection can be introduced to identify nucleic acid ligands that have a high specificity for a tumor cell but do not recognize the cognate normal tissue. Similarly, nucleic acid ligands can be identified which specifically recognize atherosclerotic arterial tissue but not normal arterial tissue. Nucleic acid ligands which recognize fibrin, but not fibrinogen can also be identified by this method. Additionally, nucleic acid ligands to a cell type which express a certain receptor can be counter-selected with a cell line engineered not to express the receptor (or other such macromolecule).

One of ordinary skill in the art will readily understand that various mechanisms can be employed to accomplish this negative selection. The following examples are provided mostly for illustrative purposes and are not meant in any way as limiting the procedures of negative selection. Negative selection or Counter-SELEX methods were first described in U.S. patent applaction Ser. No. 08/134,028, filed Oct. 7, 1993, entitled "High-Affinity Nucleic Acid Ligands that Discriminate Between Theophylline and Caffeine", which is herein incorporated by reference. A particular implementation of negative selection is embodied using equilibrium partitioning. In this method, two cell lines or other tissue types are separated by a semi-permeable membrane (0.45-0.90 μm pore size) in an equilibrium dialysis chamber; one cell line is the neoplastic target cell line, the other, the normal tissue used for the negative selection. The choice of cell or tissue type for the negative selection will be determined by the specific end results desired and will sometimes consist of a non-malignant cell line of the same tissue type as the neoplastic target. For other experiments, various normal cell types could be combined to create the negative epitope "sink." The random pool of nucleic acids is placed into the dialysis chamber (on the side of the normal cells; this avoids background from high avidity targets which are common to both the tumor and normal cells) and allowed to equilibrate between the two cell lines. Those nucleic acid sequences that remain bound to the target cell line or tissue at equilibrium are selectively recovered and amplified for the next round of SELEX.

This example of negative selection methodology is quite powerful. First, equilibrium dialysis negative selection allows the positive and negative selection to be carried out simultaneously. Second, the stringency of the negative selection can be varied through the alteration of the relative amounts of "positive" and "negative" cells placed on each side of the dialysis membrane. These two characteristics of equilibrium dialysis negative selection allow precise control over the evolution of nucleic acid ligands specific for the target cell or tissue type.

This same type of equilibrium partitioning negative selection can be carried out with adherent cell lines. In this embodiment, monolayers of target and negative cells or tissues are plated in different wells of a multi-welled plate. After adherence, media, along with an oligonucleotide pool, is added such that the wells are connected by the volume of cell media. After equilibration of the oligonucleotide pool, those sequences bound by the target cell line or tissue type would be isolated and amplified for the next round of SELEX.

The equilibrium negative selection strategies above offer a powerful way of generating nucleic acid ligands to tissue targets and especially tumor associated antigens (TAAs).

Additionally, there are several other negative selection methods, which could be classified as "post-SELEX screening procedures." The most simple of these procedures is the testing of individual nucleic acid ligands (those sequences generated by tissue SELEX and demonstrated to be high-affinity ligands for the tissue target) against normal tissue for cross-reactivity. However, this approach is a tedious and time-consuming process.

A more fruitful "post-SELEX" method is to perform a negative selection, for example using a normal tissue as the negative selection target, on a pool that has already been evolved from a SELEX against a desirable complex tissue target, for example a transformed cell line. This example would suggest the performance of two to three negative selections on a normal tissue using a late-round, highly evolved pool from a SELEX of a transformed cell line. The binding of certain sequences to the normal tissue would be used to subtract these sequences from the evolved pool. This method allows one to quickly eliminate from several hundred to several thousand nucleic acid sequences that show a high affinity for those targets common to both the normal and the transformed cell lines.

Another "post-SELEX" screening method is a variation of the photocrosslinking experiment described in Example two below. As an example, it is possible to synthetically incorporate a highly photoreactive nitrine group (which is also iodinatable) on the 5' end of a PCR primer used in the tissue SELEX protocols. Late-round pools from for example, a tumor cell line SELEX would be amplified with this photoactivatable (and ¹²⁵ I-labeled) primer, and this sequence pool would then be irradiated in the presence of the tumor cell line, and in the presence of normal tissue. Membrane proteins would be isolated and solubilized for analysis on an SDS gel. One would expect to see many different protein epitopes tagged by specific oligonucleotide sequences, for both the tumor and the normal cell lines. A few tagged targets will be unique to the tumor cell line. Because the oligonucleotides have been photochemically linked to the protein targets in a manner which does not destroy the base sequence of the oligonucleotide, it is possible to isolate a tumor-specific band from an SDS gel, and use PCR to recover a specific sequence motif that recognizes a particular tumor antigen. Thus, in one step, it will be possible to remove from a pool oligonucleotide sequences that recognize possibly hundreds of cell surface antigens, leaving one or a few families of sequences that bind specifically to a single tumor-specific antigen.

As described above, the Tissue SELEX methods can include the identification of macromolecules which comprise new epitopes on the tissue target. The nucleic acid ligand to the new epitope component of the macromolecule can be employed to purify, identify and characterize the macromolecule. The new macromolecule can be a previously unknown protein or peptide, lipid, carbohydrate, etc. Virtually any molecule that is part of the molecular make-up of a tissue can be identified by the Tissue SELEX process.

In order to fully exploit this aspect of the invention, it is important to develop strategies for the purification and identification of new macromolecules which comprise the new epitopes and to determine the roles these new macromolecular components of the tissue play in biological systems. The methods for purifying new macromolecules are well-known, especially in the art of protein purification. These standard purification methods include crosslinking, affinity chromatography, peptide microsequencing, Edman sequencing, mass spectrometry, and cDNA library searches.

The following discussion describes this process as it would be applied to the identification of a new tumor-associated antigen (TAA). For the purposes of this discussion, a TAA is a macromolecule that is expressed on a tumor cell, but not on a similar normal cell. A TAA may or may not be immunogenic. A TAA is merely one example of the kinds of macromolecules which can be identified by the Tissue SELEX process and simply used for illustrative purposes. However, it is readily apparent that this process can be extrapolated to any new macromolecule identified by the Tissue SELEX process.

As applied to TAAs, the identification of new TAAs by the Tissue SELEX process is composed of two main parts: one, developing strategies for the purification and identification of new TAAs, and two, the elucidation of the role these tumor antigens play in cancer (i.e., determining the biological significance of each particular TAA in the development and progression of a particular cancer).

The steps of purification and identification of most of the TAAs should be straightforward and understood by one skilled in the art of protein purification. As with antibodies, SELEX provides a reagent -a high-affinity ligand specific for the tumor antigen- that is incredibly useful for the purification of the antigen from whole cells or other tissues. As a non-limiting example, most antigens will be amenable to some type of photo-affinity crosslinking as described in the RBC ghost SELEX experiments of Example 1 or in the negative selection strategies section above. Specific crosslinking of the TAA, using a photoactivatable oligonucleotide with a 3' biotin conjugate will allow one-pass purification of the TAA target using strepavidin coated beads. An alternative method to this purification strategy is to use a column-bound high-affinity nucleic acid ligand to affinity purify the TAA target from solubilized target cell membrane preparations.

There are many compelling reasons to believe that the method provided herein for identifying macromolecules that comprise new epitopes on tissues offers distinct advantages over traditional methods of new macromolecule discovery. Again, the following discussion will be directed to tumor-associated antigen discovery, but one will readily understand that it can be broadly extrapolated to all new macromolecule discovery.

As applied to tumor-associated antigens, one must fully consider that all that is known about tumor antigens has been derived from the immune system's reaction to particular antigens; science has depended on the particular restrictions of the immune system, and the system's repertories to distinguish antigenic differences between neoplastic and normal tissue. It is entirely possible that other tumor antigens exist that are not subject to immune response. Some investigators have hypothesized that there may in fact be many antigenic differences between cancer and normal tissue, which are, unfortunately, not immunogenic .

The SELEX methodology provides an improved way to identify TAAs that avoids the restrictions posed by the immune system:

a. SELEX can actually provide a deeper search of TAAs than can the entire potential antibody repertoire of an organism- the size of the nucleic acid libraries used in SELEX is unrivaled by any biological system;

b. SELEX provides nucleic acid ligands to targets, including those which are not antigenic to the immune system because of tolerance. Many of the TAAs which have been identified are oncofetal- they are antigens expressed at some point during development or cell differentiation. As prior "self" antigens, they elicit no overt immune response because of earlier immune system tolerization. A SELEX-based search for TAAs avoids the circular nature of using the immune system as a means of identifying tumor antigens;

c. SELEX nucleic acid ligands have been shown to be exquisitely sensitive to target conformation. While most antibodies recognize conformational, or discontinuous eptitopes, antibody functional eptitopes are composed of only a few amino acids. The potential binding surface of an oligonucleotide ligand is much larger than that of an antibody variable region, and may provide greater conformational discrimination of large targets. Additionally, cross-reactivity for SELEX ligands is substantially less of a problem than for monoclonal antibodies. A considerable set of restrictions also controls T-cell mediated tumor responses. These immune system limitations provide important biological functions; however, they limit the immune system's power for TAA identification.

d. SELEX is possibly more sensitive to small quantities of antigen than the immune system. Although the immune system's threshold for reactivity has been estimated to be 200 copies/cell for an antigenic MHC-presented peptide, a B-cell antibody response (necessary for any antigen that is not a peptide- carbohydrates, lipids or conformational antigens) to a monovalent target requires antigen concentrations of about 100 mM. SELEX can generate ligands to TAA targets with a low representation on the cell surface;

e. SELEX provides a rapid and thorough method of TAA discovery. Screening of monoclonal antibodies to tissue sections, and purification and identification of MHC peptides are painstaking processes that set practical limits on the depth and completeness of searches for TAAs. Tissue SELEX experiments take a much abbreviated length of time.

Nucleic acid ligands to tissue targets or the tissue epitopes identified by the method of the invention are useful as diagnostic reagents and as pharmaceuticals. The nucleic acid ligands are also useful for the identification of new macromolecules. The nucleic acid ligands are useful in any application that would be suitable for use of an antibody.

As diagnostic reagents, the ligands or tissue epitopes can be used in both in vitro diagnostics and in vivo imaging applications. The SELEX method generally, and the specific adaptations of the SELEX method taught and claimed herein specifically, are particularly suited for diagnostic applications. SELEX identifies nucleic acid ligands that are able to bind targets with high affinity and with surprising specificity. These characteristics are, of course, the desired properties one skilled in the art would seek for a diagnostic ligand. Details regarding use of the ligands in diagnostic applications is well known to one of ordinary skill in the art. Nucleic acid ligands that bind specifically to pathological tissues such as tumors may have a role in imaging pathological conditions such as human tumor imaging and even therapeutic delivery of cytotoxic compounds or immune enhancing substances.

The nucleic acid ligands of the present invention may be routinely adapted for diagnostic purposes according to any number of techniques employed by those skilled in the art. Diagnostic agents need only be able to allow the user to identify the presence of a given target at a particular locale or concentration. Simply the ability to form binding pairs with the target may be sufficient to trigger a positive signal for diagnostic purposes. Those skilled in the art would also be able to adapt any nucleic acid ligand by procedures known in the art to incorporate a labelling tag in order to track the presence of a ligand. Such a tag could be used in a number of diagnostic procedures.

Specifically, oligonucleotide ligands with high specificity for particular tumor antigens could become as important as monoclonal antibodies for the detection, imaging, and surveillance of cancer. Modified nucleic acid ligands show nuclease resistance in plasma, and the use of 5' and 3' capping structures will provide stability in animals that rivals that of monoclonal antibodies (and without the immunogenicity of animal-derived MAbs). Radionuclides, magnetic compounds, and the like can be conjugated to tumor-specific oligonucleotides for cancer imaging. SELEX tumor ligands can also be used to determine if these tumor antigens are sloughed off tumors, and are detectable in the plasma like PSA.

The nucleic acid ligands to tissue targets or newly identified macromolecules components of tissue are also useful as pharmaceuticals. Therapeutic uses include the treatment or prevention of diseases or medical conditions in human patients. Therapeutic uses also include veterinary applications. The ligands can bind to receptors and be useful as receptor antagonists. Conversely, under certain circumstances the ligands can bind to receptors and cause receptor capping and act as receptor agonists.

In order to produce nucleic acids desirable for use as a pharmaceutical, it is preferred that the nucleic acid ligand (1) binds to the target in a manner capable of achieving the desired effect on the target; (2) be as small as possible to obtain the desired effect; (3) be as stable as possible; and (4) be a specific ligand to the chosen target. In most situations, it is preferred that the nucleic acid ligand have the highest possible affinity to the target.

Standard formulations can be used for the nucleic acid ligands of the invention and are known to one of ordinary skill in the art.

The following examples provide a non-limiting description of the present invention. Example One describes obtaining ssDNA ligands to the complex tissue target red blood cell ghosts. The red blood cell ghost comprises a finite set of membrane-bound epitopes and is a non-living target which remained unchanged over the period of the selection. Ligands to RBC ghosts have numerous uses including, but not limited to, the ability to in vivo image extravascular blood as is desirable for head or retroperitoneal injuries or to extend the vascular half-life of other ligands that may be attached to the RBC ghost ligand. Example Two describes the identification of a macromolecule component on the RBC ghost using a ligand obtained in Example One. Example Three describes obtaining ssDNA ligands to a glioblastoma cell line. High affinity and specificity nucleic acid ligands were isolated that may interact with tumor-associated (or tumor-specific) antigens, or mimic cytokines in their interactions with cell surface receptors causing cell morphology changes. Ligands to glioblastoma cell lines have numerous uses including, but not limited to, in vivo imaging of glioblastomas, therapeutic localization of the ligand or other therapeutic agents that are attached thereto. Example Four describes ssDNA ligands to a human lymphoma cell line.

EXAMPLE ONE ssDNA Ligands to Red Blood Cell Ghosts

This example demonstrates the ability to obtain ssDNA ligands to the complex tissue target human red blood cell ghosts (RBC ghosts). Red blood cell ghosts are erythroid cells which have been lysed, purged of their cellular contents and preferentially resealed in a right-side-out manner (Steck et al. (1994) Biochemistry 10: 2617-2624). Red blood cell ghosts were the first complex tissue target on which in vitro selection was performed. The red blood cell ghost is one of the least complicated tissue targets and yet is still orders of magnitude more complex than the pure proteins or small molecules previously used for SELEX procedures. The red blood cell ghost comprises a finite set of membrane-bound epitopes and is a non-living target which remained unchanged over the period of the selection. Ligands to RBC ghosts have numerous uses including, but not limited to, the ability to in vivo image extravascular blood as is desirable for head or retroperitoneal injuries or to extend the vascular half-life of other ligands that may be attached to the RBC ghost ligand.

Briefly, the RBC ghost SELEX was carried out with single-stranded DNA for selection, using a 30-base randomized region. The single-stranded DNA pool was incubated with RBC ghosts, and the tighter-binding sequences were partitioned from the rest of the pool by filtering the reaction through nitrocellulose filters. 25 rounds of selection were carried out, using a decreasing concentration of ghosts as the SELEX experiment progressed. The 25th round pool was cloned and sequenced according to standard procedures. Listed in Table 1 are the 69 sequences prepared from the 25th round pool. Approximately 60% of these sequences can be classified into eight sequence-specific motifs, there is one class of pyrimidine-rich sequences (12%), and the other 19% are "orphans," showing no similarity to other sequences.

Binding behavior of round 0 and round 25 pools, and selected clones shows that the round 25 pool binds significantly better than the starting pool, and several of the motif 1 clones bind better than the round 25 pool. All sequences tested for binding so far show similar binding to whole red blood cells, so it is believed that the SELEX ligands have evolved to membrane targets on the extracellular side of the RBC ghosts.

A. MATERIALS AND METHODS

Red blood cell ghosts

Red blood cell ghosts are erythroid cells which have been lysed, purged of their cellular contents and preferentially resealed in a right-side-out manner (Steck et al. (1994) Biochemistry 10: 2617-2624). The concentration of protein in the preparation was measured with Coomassie brilliant blue G-250 (Bio-Rad).

Synthesis of initial pool of ssDNA

10 pmol of template with 30 random nucleotides flanked by fixed sequences complementary to the primers (SEQ ID NO: 1) was PCR amplified for 25 rounds in 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.6, 50 mM KCl, 2.5 mM MgCl₂, 170 mg/ml BSA, 1 mM dNTPs, 0.5 units/ml Taq DNA polymerase and 5 mM each primer (5'-GGGAGCTCAGAATAAACGCTCAA-3' (SEQ ID NO: 2) and 5'-BBBGATCCGGGCCTCATGTCGAA-3' (SEQ ID NO: 3), where B=biotin). A similar reaction contained 1 pmol of template, 0.1 mM dCTP and 1.25 mM α-³² P!dCTP (800 Ci/mmol) to produce internally labeled ssDNA for monitoring the binding affinity of the pool. Non-biotinylated, ssDNA was purified from the larger biotinylated strand by electrophoresis in 8% polyacrylamide gels containing urea.

The SELEX Protocol

40 pmol unlabeled ssDNA and a trace amount of radioactively labeled ssDNA were denatured by heating at 70° C. for 5 min in 200 μl PBS (pH 7.3) and renatured at 0° C. for 10 min. Pre-filtration of the DNA solution was used to counter-select sequences that might bind to nitrocellulose. After washing the filter with 300 μl PBS, the ssDNA molecules passed through the filter were divided into 50 μl aliquots. An equal volume of PBS containing various concentrations of RBC ghosts (0-1.72 mg/ml total protein) was added to each aliquot. The mixture was incubated for 20 min at room temperature then filtered through nitrocellulose. The filters were washed with 5 ml PBS and the amount of radioactively labeled ssDNA retained was measured by scintillation counting. The ssDNA was isolated from the filter that retained 5-10 times the radioactivity bound to the background control filter and was amplified by PCR for the next round of selection.

Nitrocellulose filter binding assays

The nitrocellulose filter partitioning method was used as described in SELEX patent applications to determine the affinity of nucleic acid ligands for RBC ghosts and for other proteins. Filter discs (nitrocellulose/cellulose acetate mixed matrix, 0.45 μm pore size, Millipore) were placed on a vacuum manifold and washed with 5 ml of TBSC buffer under vacuum. Reaction mixtures, containing ³² P labeled nucleic acid pools and RBC ghosts, were incubated in TBSC for 5 min at 37° C., filtered, and then immediately washed with 5 ml TBSC. The filters were air-dried and counted in a Beckman liquid scintillation counter without fluor. Dissociation constants for single RBC ghost ligands were determined by Scatchard analysis (Scatchard, G. (1949) Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 51:660-627; Robb, R. J., Munck, A., and Smith, K. A. (1985) J. Immunol. Methods 81:15-30), using constant ghost concentrations and varying the concentration of nucleic acid ligand. Scatchard analysis was performed using nitrocellulose partitioning of bound ligand from unbound ligand. For comparisons between random and evolved nucleic acid ligand pools, and for ligand/ligand comparisons, standard filter binding assays were used as described in the SELEX patent applications.

Cloning and nucleotide sequence determination

Individual DNA molecules were isolated from the round 25 pool by PCR amplification with primers that introduce BamHI and HindIII restriction sites at the 5' and 3' ends of the DNA. Restriction digested PCR products were ligated into pUC18 and introduced into E. coli strain SURE (Stratagene) by electroporation. Plasmids were isolated and the nucleotide sequences in the inserted DNAs were determined by standard dideoxynucleotide methods. The sequences were searched for patterns in their primary sequences and in their possible secondary sequences both by inspection and with the aid of computer algorithms.

B. RESULTS OF THE SELEX PROCEDURE

Clones

As described in Section A, ssDNA with 30 randomized positions was used in SELEX with RBC ghosts as the target. The affinity of the ssDNA population for the membranes increased over twenty-five rounds of selection and amplification. The round 25 PCR products were cloned and the nucleotide sequences of 69 individuals were determined as shown in Table 1 (SEQ ID NO: 5-70). Eleven clones contained one 8 and one 11 nucleotide consensus sequence separated by 3 to 14 bases (SEQ ID NOs: 5-11). Several of these clones are likely to have arisen from a single progenitor sequence by PCR mutagenesis (ie. 20, 121 and 117). One of the clones (clone 25)(SEQ ID NO: 12) in this group may use a portion of the 5'-end fixed region to complete the consensus sequence. A region of this fixed sequence and the consensus sequence differ by only two nucleotides.

Some of the other sequences have been classified into another seven motifs based upon primary sequence. Another group of nine clones were distinguished by their unusually high pyrimidine content (≧77%)(SEQ ID NOs: 43-51). The remaining clones contained no obvious primary sequence consensus and are termed orphans (SEQ ID NOs: 52-70).

Affinities

The binding behavior of round 0 and round 25 pools, and a selected number of round 25 clones have been tested. The round 25 pool binds approximately 10-fold better than the starting pool, and several of the motif I clones bind 100-fold better than the round 0 pool. All sequences tested for binding show similar binding to whole red blood cells, and therefore the inventors hereof believe that ligands have been selected to membrane targets on the extracellular side of the RBC ghosts.

A synthetic twenty-two nucleotide truncate of clone 56 (C56T)(SEQ ID NO: 4) that contains only the consensus sequences with four intervening nucleotides retained most of the binding affinity exhibited by the entire ssDNA sequence. A Scatchard plot analysis of C56T measured 1900 binding sites per cell leading to an estimated K_(d) of 42 pM for the target presented on the RBC ghosts. The pyrimidine-rich clones had affinities that were higher than the round 25 pool but lower than the consensus clones, whereas those of the ten non-consensus clones tested were indistinguishable from the random pool.

EXAMPLE TWO Identification of Macromolecule Component on RBC Ghost

In order to confirm that the c56t ligand (SEQ ID NO: 4) recognizes a single, distinct target on RBC ghosts, a series of short-wavelength UV crosslinking experiments were done in an effort to photochemically link the c56t ligand to its membrane target through thymidine crosslinking. As controls, two 22-base DNA oligonucleotides of the same base composition, but scrambled in sequence were also crosslinked to the RBC ghost target. Briefly, the target recognized by C56T was identified by short wavelength (254 nm) UV crosslinking experiments. 5'³² P end labelled truncate ligand c56t, and two control oligonucleotides of the same length and base composition (but with the primary sequences scrambled using a "shuffling" computer algorithm), were irradiated in the presence of RBC ghosts. The ghost membrane proteins were fractionated using denaturing SDS gel electrophoresis, and the presence of crosslinked ligand detected by autoradiography of the dried gel. The results are shown in FIG. 1. Autoradiography indicated a single specific crosslinked product for c56t (all three oligos show slight crosslinking to two other RBC ghost proteins). The c56t ligand, but not the two controls, selectively labels an RBC ghost membrane protein with an apparent molecular weight of 105 kDa. Silver staining of this protein target indicates that it is not an abundant protein. This protein is being photoaffinity purified using standard procedures and the identity will be obtained.

EXAMPLE THREE ssDNA Ligands to Glioblastoma U251 Cell Line

This example demonstrates the ability to obtain ssDNA ligands to the complex tissue target glioblastoma cell line U251, which is derived from human brain tumor (Hum. Hered. (1971) 21:238). High affinity and specificity nucleic acid ligands were isolated that may interact with tumor-associated (or tumor-specific) antigens, or mimic cytokines in their interactions with cell surface receptors causing cell morphology changes. Many of the protocols used in this example are outlined in Example One or are slightly varied as described below. Ligands to glioblastoma cell lines have numerous uses including, but not limited to, in vivo imaging of glioblastomas, therapeutic localization of the ligand or other therapeutic agents that are attached thereto.

In this tissue SELEX example, a fluorescent-labeled single-stranded DNA library with 34 nucleotide randomized region was used (SEQ ID NO: 71). The fluorescent-labeled ssDNA was purified by denaturing polyacrylamide gel. The sequences of primers and template are as follows:

5'-primer: 5'-F-GCCTGTTGTGAGCCTCCT-3' (F: fluorescein) (SEQ ID NO: 72)

3'-primer: 5'-GGGAGACAAGAATAAGCG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 73) template: 5'-GCCTGTTGTGAGCCTCCT-N34-CGCTTATTCTTGTCTCCC-3' (SEQ ID NO: 71)

Briefly, the SELEX procedure was as follows. One to 10 million glioblastoma cell line U251 cells were washed twice in a culture flask with 20 mL cold RPMI-1640 serum-free medium at 4° C. 50-100 picomoles of ssDNA in 100 μL PBS buffer was heated at 90° C. for 5 minutes and put on ice for 5 minutes. The ssDNA pool was added to the cell culture in 20 mL RPMI-1640 medium along with 20-40 fold excess sonicated sperm DNA and yeast tRNA (molar ratio 1:1). The solution was incubated at 4° C. for 20 minutes with gentle shaking. The cells were washed twice with 20 mL cold RPMI-1640 medium to remove the free oligonucleotides. The cells were trypsinized with 1 mL of 0.25% trypsin. The solution that contains cells and oligonucleotides was collected to a 2 mL tube, boiling at 95° C. for 5 minutes, followed by phenol extraction and ethanol precipitation. The recovered ssDNA was used for PCR amplification. Through 20 rounds of selection, the binding affinity of the final pool was significantly increased comparing with that of the starting material. The affinity increase was revealed by Scatchard graph. The round-20 pool was cloned into pUC18 vector by DUG cloning as described by Rashtchain et al. (Anal. Biochem. (1992) 206:91). About 158 sequences were obtained, which can be grouped into 22 subfamilies and are shown in Table 2 (SEQ ID NOs: 74-232).

EXAMPLE FOUR ssDNA Ligands to Human Lymphoma Cell Line

This example demonstrates the ability to obtain ssDNA ligands to the complex tissue target human lymphoma cell line CEMss, which is a CD4 positive cell line (Foley et al., Cancer (1965) 18:522). Many of the protocols used in this example are outlined in Example One or are slightly varied as described below.

In this tissue SELEX example, fluorescein labeled single-stranded DNA molecules were used for generating the of combinatorial library. The fluorescein-labeling allows for image of oligonucleotides binding to the cell surface and for the purpose of flow cytometry. The sequences of primers and templates are as follows:

5'-primer: 5'-F*-GCCTGTTGTGAGCCTCCT-3' (F*=fluorescein) (SEQ ID NO: 233)

3'-primer: 5'-GGGAGACAAGAATAAGCG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 234) template: 5'-GCCTGTTGTGAGCCTCCT--N₃₄ --CGCTTATTCTTGTCTCCC-3' (SEQ ID NO: 235)

Briefly, the SELEX procedure was as follows. The target cell line was the human lymphoma cell line CEMss, which is CD4 positive. 5×10⁶ cells were washed twice with 10 mL of cold PBS buffer in a 15 mL conical tube. The cells were resuspended with 1 mL PBS and stored on ice. 50-100 picomoles of fluorescein-labeled (and ³² P-intemally-labeled by PCR) single-stranded DNA (SEQ ID NO: 235) in 100 μL PBS was heat denatured at 90° C. for 5 minutes, and was kept on ice for 5 minutes. Incubate the single-stranded DNA together with 20-50 fold excess competitor yeast tRNA and sonicated denatured sperm DNA (ratio: 1 to 1), with cells at room temperature for 20 minutes with gentle shaking. Load the reaction solution on top of 0.5 mL of binding oil (84% silicon oil and 16% paraffin oil), spin at top speed for 15 seconds, immediately freeze in dry ice/ethanol. Cut the bottom tip of the tube off and put the tip in a 2 mL tube, add 100 μL water, 100 μL 7M urea, and 400 μL phenol, shake and boil for 5 minutes. Count the cpm, then shake for another 20 minutes, spin at top speed for 10 minutes, transfer the top phase to a new tube and ethanol precipitate. The recovered DNA was PCR amplified and purified on a denaturing gel. The fluorescein-labeled strand migrates slower. The recovered ssDNA was used for next round of SELEX.

The improvement of binding affinity was determined by binding assay. The reaction condition was as described above, with the exception that the reaction volume is 100 μL, without the addition of competitor. After 12 rounds of selection the binding affinity increased compared to the zero round pool. The complexity of the round 12 pool is still relatively high and rounds will continue until the resulting complexity of the pool has somewhat decreased.
